Over 1,000 people just packed into a county Trump won by 34 points to see Abdul El-Sayed. He's running on Medicare for All and taxing the ultra rich, the exact ideas we were told rural voters would never support.

They started replacing the art they didn't appreciate, then: "Conservative groups and friends of the president staged events for free or at steep discounts, including a conference on 'ending Christian persecution.' The center threw parties and dedicated rooms to Trump donors and political allies."
Workers renovated Mr. Trump’s three theater boxes in the center, installing gold plumbing fixtures and tearing up newly laid tile whose color was not to the liking of the White House. In one email, a Kennedy Center staff member, Lisa Dale, alerted colleagues to Mr. Trump’s demand for a certain type of tree on campus: “Our Chairman loves maple trees and is insisting we plant maple trees from a very specific Grove by a very specific gardener. :) I actually love this about him!”
